Jackie and Todd awoke with a start. As Jackie arrested control of the body, he put a fresh set of clothes on and walked out into the Doctor’s kitchen.
The doctor and Carol were already awake, and finishing off their breakfasts. Jackie poured himself a shot of rye in a clean tumbler, threw it back and sat down at the table, placing the bottle and his glass down in front of him. As he reached for the table lighter, he spoke.
“It’s me, Jackie. I gave Todd the day off.”
Asshole.
“So what’s your master plan?”
“We were thinking that because Todd’s not known around campus, you could go into your office at the university and get the lockbox, and we could bring it back here. Just for a start.”
Jackie poured another shot and downed it.
“I guess that’s as good an idea for a start than any I’ve got.”
It’s a bit early to be drunk, don’t you think?
